“Seriously, how deluded must she be to think this will go anywhere?” This is the Age of Social Media. Did trump think he was going to win? Did he want to? No way. He ran to raise the profile of his “brand.” That’s all that matters. Get attention by any means possible and then pounce on opportunity when it arises. If…

Well, if you’re being sincere (unlike the OP!) I appreciate it!

My Christmas is always so frustrating. It is always a fight of when we go where and how long we spend with everyone. Both my wife and I would love to just stay home with our kids and relax but then everyone gets their feeling hurt. The funniest part is my Mother-in-law complains about her sister every year but then…

Just gonna hazard a guess here...this ACAB PD will have a Juvenile Hall and/or local prison, both for-profit, that they are incentivized to keep filled to capacity. This is your actual school to jail pipeline, documented.

I do what I call a ‘crunch salad’. It is all the stuff we put on the lettuce. So, carrot, radish, celery, bell pepper, apple, cucumber, daikon, walnuts, etc. It doesn’t take much time nor does it need to a big portion as you are getting a lot of the good stuff in more condensed form.

God willing he strokes out before midterms.

Win or lose, Trump is more likely to be the 2024 Republican nominee than he is to face any real consequences, financial, criminal or otherwise, for any of his misconduct.

The funniest thing will be if Biden blows him out in a historically lopsided win that gets Democrats the Senate and Presidency, and he then calls into Fox News and screams about it for two straight hours tomorrow.

They want to be able to call the election for Trump early in the evening. That puts the wheels in motion. If they can get FOX and some other media to call it, they can essentially claim it as fact. This may discourage people in the western time zones from voting once they hear that (why wait in line when my vote…

that’s just it, isn’t it? I work with a very toxic person and am usually the only person speaking up in the room, but I’m not sure my situation—faculty rights vs. the overreach of administration—is something I can “win” or if it’s in the league of saving people’s lives.

I’m not saying I would blame/fault someone for stepping out of such a position, but Fauci is a hero—a person who makes sacrifices for the greater good, which does make him greater/better.

Yep. My favorite cousin has one glaring flaw, and it’s this same mindset of middle-class-stability privilege. Chris Pratt is probably a “political moderate,” but in 2020 I don’t think that’s a thing anymore. You can’t just shrug at 200K+ dead, rampant human rights abuses, and the decline of democracy.

He’s the classic “whoever is in power doesn’t really affect me” well-off straight white dude. Since he isn’t much personally impacted by who’s in power, he can not really care and pretend that both sides are equally bad/good. 

Ronald Reagan

Lol, I read that as Patriotic Twinks.

I couldn’t even laugh at this. You know the Proud Boys or the Patriotic Tinywieners or one of the endless groups are already plotting Fauci’s kidnap and trial.

“Will no one rid me of this turbulent epidemiologist?”

The issue is with this part of the sentence “...I saw her as not a very nice person. I don’t know how to explain it.” You don’t see a lot of people talking about whether male candidates are “nice” or not.

Yes HRC’s base knows misogyny played a major role in her loss. It’s not as widely acknowledged as this article implies. Just because it’s exhausting does not mean it should not be called out and shamed. The patriarchy is systemic and pervasive. We shouldn’t weary of calling misogyny by its name.
